Hi,

Please read this documentation:

Hi,

I was facing this error in macbook m1 even after doing all the actions as mentioned in https://doc.inkdrop.info/manual/working-behind-a-corporate-web-proxy . Looks like somehow my inkdrop folder was messed. Uninstalling inkdrop doesn’t delete this inkdrop folder. So after uninstalling I had to delete this folder manually. A fresh install after this and setting strict-ssl to false worked for me.

Sharing it here so that it could help someone.

@craftzdog I don’t face this proxy errors in other note taking apps such as remnote, obsidian, logseq, etc… Is it due to atom based architecture that you are using for this app?

@Sachin_A Do you mean other apps work well behind your proxy with a self-signed cert? If so, they don’t verify SSL certificates, which is insecure.
strict-ssl=false must be required for self-signed certs.

Okay. I assume the other apps don’t enforce this. Thanks!
